Pretty Green Eyes: L.Norris

Chapter 52

Silverstone came around quickly and the weekend seemed to fly by in a flash. After his home race, Lando took Arribella out for a romantic dinner as his family looked after Kaylie. The couple were getting ready in their hotel room. Lando sat in front of Arribella as she applied some hair gel to his curls to make them stand out. "Done." she smiles, satisfied with her work. "Perfect baby. Why do I need to go to a barber when I have a girlfriend who cuts and styles my hair for me." he smiles, standing up and wrapping his arms around her, giving her a passionate and grateful kiss.

"Now, let me get ready." Arribella smiles before turning them both around so she can finish getting ready for their date. All Lando could do was sit on their bed and smile as he admired the girl infront of him. "What?" she chuckles, touching up her blush as she catches his reflection. "Nothing. Just wondering how I got so lucky." he smiles causing her to aswell. "I'm asking myself the same." she responds before finishing her makeup.

Once she was done, Arri puts her makeup away before walking over to Lando and standing infront of him. Looking at him, she smiles while placing her hands on the side of his face, cupping his cheeks and softly placing her lips on his. He smiles before returning the kiss, his hands on her waist. "Ready to go mister?" she smiles, parting her lips from his, her nose against his. "For you, anytime." he smiles. "That's cheesy but only because it's you, it's cute." she giggles. "Lets get our jackets on and head to dinner." the driver says.

The couple put their shoes and jackets on before heading out to dinner at a nearby popular restaurant, them together celebrating his win as a couple. "I can't believe you got us in here. It's so hard to book." Arribella says in awe as she looks around the interior. "Well, I just had to pull some strings and it was sorted quickly." Lando grins proudly as he feels the fashion brand owner place a kiss on his cheek. "Your the best. Lets enjoy our night." she smiles as a hostess shows them to their table in a confined corner of the restaurant.

Through the course of the night, the parents chat and talk about stuff away from racing. "This food is amazing." Arribella smiles as she takes a sip of her red wine. "It truly is. Oh and once we're done, we have somewhere else to go." Lando smiles and his girlfriend looks at him questioningly. "Come on baby. Don't give me that look. I promise you'll love it." the Bristol brunette boy grins.

After dinner was out the way, Lando takes Arribella's hand into his and leads her to his car and takes a short drive to the park. "Okay. Put this on." he says, handing her a blindfold. "Why?" she questions. "Do you trust me?" he asks. "Of course I trust you muppet. I don't have a reason not to." Arribella smiles. "Okay. Then put this on." Lando says as he hands her the blindfold. She holds it over her eyes as he tightly ties it at the back of her head. "Okay. How many fingers am I holding up?" the f1 driver questions.

"Uh, your middle finger." she guesses. "Not the question but okay." he laughs before getting out his car and running to her side, helping the fashion brand owner out the car and shutting the door. "Okay. Just follow me and stop walking when I do." Lando says, her hand in his tightly.

As he guides her through the park, Arribella keeps a tight hold of his hand. "Okay. And stop." he says, letting go of her hand. "Can I take it off?" Arribella asks, reaching for the blindfold. "Of course." Lando smiles. The girl removes her blindfold and her hand instantly covers her mouth as she sees Lando on one knee infront of her, them both surrounded by flower petals and candles.

"Arribella. I've known you all my life and there has never been a day where I've never laughed with you, laughed because of you but most of all, never stopped smiling. Way before we began dating, we used to laugh at the idea of us even being romantically involved yet here we are, decades later. You've supported me throughout my racing career and I've supported you in your fashion career. We've started a beautiful little family together and I want to be a step further. I love you with all my heart baby. Would you do me the honour of being more than my girlfriend but my wife?" Lando speaks as tears from in her eyes, her favorite song playing quietly in the background. "Yes." she whispers nodding her head, too overcome with emotion.

Lando smiles before standing up, placing the gorgeous ring on her finger. With his hands on her waist, the driver places a passionate kiss on her lips, the girls tears free falling as she returns it. "I can't believe it. What a weekend to remember." she smiles, her forehead testing on his. "Truly is love. And I'm now engaged to the hottest girl I know." the Bristol boy smiles, his arms wrapped around her waist as she has hers around his neck. "I love you." she grins, looking into his blue-green eyes. "I love you too." he smiles, kissing her again.

Both of them head back to their hotel and were back in their pajamas. Cuddled in each others arms, Lando and Arribella couldn't help but stare at the ring. "You made a good choice." she smiles, looking up at him. "And I made a good choice." he smile, pecking her lips as they fall into a comfortable silence.
